This Past Sunday was kind of slow for us at Nocturnalz Studio so I called up Patrick to see if he wants to shoot a video.
Patrick likes playing the guitar but doesn't particularly like to sing. However, I was able to convince him to give it a go since it's for fun anyway. Here is his cover on Taylor Swift's "You Belong To Me". It was a fun experience shooting in video mode on my 5D Mark2.. since I've mainly been taking pictures with it. I definitely learned a few things from this...
This is our very first time doing anything like this : recording, singing, playing the guitar in front of camera, editing, etc.. so please be kind and enjoy! >_<

Cashing Out and Buying In: The Dual Financial Challenges of Family Business
Norman Duffett - Orca Capital Securities, LLC
Randy Moe - Orca Capital Securities, LLC
Elizabeth Duffett - Orca Capital Securities, LLC
Can your family business financially support a transition to the next generation?
One of the biggest challenges facing family businesses is how to secure a reasonable financial exit for the older generation while still creating a properly capitalized enterprise for the next. Communication and planning between generations is critical to clarify goals, evaluate financial options, and plan for contingencies. This session will show how proper financial structuring offers the key to managing through these dual challenges.
Elder Owners: Care Concerns for the Family and the Business
Robynn Pease Ph.D. - Oregon State University
Over 44 million Americans provide care to aging parents and loved ones, with 60% of them in paid employment. Many caregivers feel marginalized in the workplace, experience stress, often jeopardizing their own personal health and well-being; 65% experience higher mortality rates than non-caregivers of the same age. Caregivers who provide care to aging family members of small business are particularly vulnerable to these strains. Yet, caring for aging parents is one of life's transformative events. This session will identify the unique challenges facing caregivers in the workplace and family businesses, signs of caregiver stress and strategies for successfully balancing elder care, work and family dynamics.

SBA Financing Solutions to Support Business Transition
Jennifer Fern- KeyBank
Have you figured out how to finance a business buy-out for the next generation?
One option is for the senior generation to carry a note for the sale of the business to the next generation in exchange for monthly income after retirement. This can be risky as there is no guarantee the business will be around long-term to provide that income. There is however an option for a lump sum cash-out solution. This session will show how the SBA program can be used as a tool to finance the sale to the next generation and provide a framework for planning this type of transaction.

Skip to comments.Amputee veteran turned away by Starbucks employees who wouldn't let his service dog in store
Posted on 02/10/2014 10:18:04 AM PST by servo1969
Still adjusting to his life as an amputee, doctors discovered Mr Baer had bone cancer after a non-combat related injury in Iraq in 2009.
His left leg had to be amputated from the knee down and was given a physical service dog, Beanz, through a national organization called Canine Companions for Independence.
However, as soon as he walked through the door of the coffee chain, the trouble started.
A Starbucks employee approached him as he entered with Beanz, his service dog. 'You can't have dogs in here,' the worker yelled at him.
It was in your face, loud and bold. I got really nervous. I was shaking because I was being confronted,' he said in a posting on Facebook.
Mr Baer explained that Beanz was a service dog. The employee countered, 'you're not blind!' to which he replied 'I know and she isn't a seeing eye dog, she's a physical service dog.'
Beanz had her bright blue service vest and working collar on at the time of the encounter.
'Well what does the dog do?' the staffer demanded to know.
Upon explaining the ways in which his dog performed tasks for him, the war veteran was not prepared for the employees response: 'Why can't you do that yourself?' he was asked.
Mr Baer says he was humiliated and embarrassed in front of a crowd of spectators.
Eventually, he spoke with another employee and got his point across. The employee who stopped him at the door later apologized for what happened.
(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
I'd start boycotting them, but I already do.
They can do as they like, as can I and I've given my coffee business to others. I don't miss them.
He should have told them the dog was gay.
It's so easy to boycott a coffee chain with lousy overpriced coffee that expects you to speak coffee-language when you place an order.
"Eventually, he spoke with another employee and got his point across. The employee who stopped him at the door later apologized for what happened."
Sounds like Mr. Baer has hit the jackpot.
"It was in your face, loud and bold. I got really nervous. I was shaking because I was being confronted,'"
Veteran status or not, get over it and tell them to F'off and then get a lawyer and get rich.
Ka-ching! Thank you Starbucks.
Skinny little left wing thug wanna be decides to take on a veteran missing a leg. I stopped drinking Starbucks 2 years ago over the guns debacle.
Can't do much more then that but this is indeed reflective of the company. They employ people who have no tolerance for patriotism, conservatism or anything America. They hate America. That's why they all work at Starbucks. They all see eye to eye and agree on their hatred of America.
We had a Chinese restaurant refuse a lady with a service dog like this. We filed a complaint with the Department of Justice. They reviewed it for a full year and then refused to go forward against the place in an ADA case. DOJ=Joke.
Agreed, BykrBayb. I stopped using their products when they went all fuzzy on the Second Amendment.
What is Starbucks ?
I saw this guy interviewed this morning. When the lengthy apology presented to him was read during the interview - which specifically asked for an "opportunity to serve him again" - he was asked if he would give them the opportunity.
His response was "No, he would not" (fine by me) but then he proceeded to go off on a rant about "corporate America".
I was not impressed with his argument. It sounded to me like he just wanted money.
Bet the "employee" was Muslim.
If I, or probably many of the people on this board, had been in the store, I'd like to think we would have said something as well. I fear that most people just looked out the window and pretended they weren't hearing anything.
I've already decided their overpriced swill is awful coffee so I can't boycott them further.
Conquistador Coffee
Never been in one and never will.
"Its so easy to boycott a coffee chain with lousy overpriced coffee that expects you to speak coffee-language when you place an order."
To this day, if I go into a Starbucks, I order small, medium or large. If they don't understand what I am talking about, I remind them nice and loud.
"The large coffee goes int the big cup."
A dog is offensive to their muslim customers.
Most people who use starbucks...are the same pretentious LIEberals who frequent Whole Foods.
Their noses are so far in the air...it's laughable.
"Well, he tears the throat out of obnoxious marxist baristas like yourself, spits it out on the floor, then urinates on the still-twitching remains...that's what he does."
Does your service dog bite?
LOL....classics are classics!
THX for the chuckle.
Sometimes, you gotta think "what would Robert Mitchum do in this situation?" It wouldn't be to go crying to the media.
Just so you know what you're missing, Starbucks buys ordinary coffee beans, over-roasts them to nearly the point of burning them and then uses the bitter, burned coffee to make a weak brew that tastes strong because it is so bitter. It's the worst coffee I've ever been asked to pay for.
Who wants overpriced burnt coffee?
Now, their baked goods used to be pretty good. Haven't been in a starbucks in over a decade though.
We all know how the left would respond to this move if the discriminated against were a gay / black / latino / democrat voter.
The apology would be insufficient. They'd protest until the guy was fired and likely would push for civil charges.
He'd probably light a smoke and be asked to leave.
Employee was master of the obvious, here.
Surprised that they were able to be hired, being this dumb/insensitive.
Or if they had Mooselimb tendencies.
I too have been boycotting Starbucks since they first said they would honor the carry laws in WA state( home of their headquarters and flagship store)then changed their silly minds.
But this story seems a bit suspect, mainly because there's no indication where it takes place. Real stories have datelines, urban legends don't.
Also at the risk of sounding mean, there are fake veterans out there
OK, I stand corrected. Now Ive read it and it was Houston. There's still something about this story that isn't right, though.
I've been boycotting them since I did a cup/price analysis vis a vis my own Mr. Coffee.
Using organic coffee no less I have a lower price/cup. With organic cream and organic sugar or stevia to boot.
And it's hot in my own kitchen, drunk in my jammies and I don't have to get OUT in the cold and nasty weather to get that overpriced burnt coffee. I think the nearest one is about 25 or 30m from my house anyways. So add $15 to the price of that cup just for the gas to/from there and sitting in traffic.
No comparison.
Kind of like Bitcoins except Bitcoins are worth something.
I'm guessing Starbucks has no problem with service dogs.
One instance of an employee being stupid and uninformed doesn't represent an entire company.
"Well what does the dog do?' the staffer demanded to know.
Upon explaining the ways in which his dog performed tasks for him, the war veteran was not prepared for the employees response: 'Why can't you do that yourself?' he was asked. "
Well, Starbucks employee had a point. This guy was not riding the dog around, so there's nothing he really needed the dog for that the mutt couldn't wait outside for five minutes.
Same here.
No, you're right. It represents an opportunity for an enlightened company to reach out and do something positive that reflects well on the corporation.
They have no choice about employees saying stupid stuff. Idiots do that sort of thing.
They have a world of opportunity in how they choose to react publicly.
Starbucks = overpriced burned s*** served by underemployed metrosexual baristas.
Except for college babes in there, why go in? And all they do is text.
Get informed, practice your arguments, anticipate your enemy's rebuttals and ways to shoot them down, then go out each and every day ready to do verbal battle with the enemy. Where are your guts, America?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
With Starbucks and its deviant fag-marriage promoting agenda, I already boycott the rancid place. And frankly, even if the guy was wronged, I can't work up any outrage or have sympathy towards anyone trying to patronize the place to begin with.
"Seems like the vet could have manned up and said, "OK, no problem" instead of acting like a squealin' li'l lib."
I have a hard time believing that a minimum wage barrista is going to be actively enforcing rules like this rather than just serving the coffee and getting the guy out of the store.
People need to realize that the whole "service dog" thing has been abused in the recent past and that businesses are starting to crack down in response. I personally know a few people who put "Therapy Dog" Certifications on their dogs (some of those requirements ain't too tough) then attempted to pass their dogs off as "service dogs" by misusing the ID's provided.
The Vet got his double-apology and should let it drop.
This is the UK, and the screamer was probably Muslim. Muslims hate drags, and just about everything else.

Deception on His Mind (Inspector Lynley Series #9)by Elizabeth George
View All Available Formats & Editions
Balford-le-Nez is a dying seatown on the coast of Essex. But when a member of the town's small but growing Asian community, is found dead on its beach, his neck broken, sleepy Balford-le-Nez ignites. Working solo, without her long-time partner Detective Inspector Thomas Lynley, Sergeant Barbara Havers must probe not only the mind of a murderer and a case very close to her own heart, but the terrible price people pay for deceiving others...and themselves.
From the Paperback edition.
Editorial Reviews
A vital issue is badly served by moralizing, predictable characterizing, Anglo-Saxon attitudizing (so much slang), and preoccupation with the weather (so much sweat). Ruth Rendell, in 1995's Simisola, explored the complexities of racial prejudice with less pretension and greater finesse.
"Deception on His Mind falls smartly into place in [George's] literate, impassioned series, one of today's best."—Chicago Tribune
"Typically extravagant: long on ambition, long on characterization...it's tough to resist the pull of George's storytelling once hooked."—USA Today
"So much fun to read, it's criminal."—Newsday

Read an Excerpt
To Ian Armstrong, life had begun its current downward slide the moment he'd been made redundant. He'd known when he'd been offered the job that it was only a temporary appointment. The advertisement he'd answered had not indicated otherwise, and no offer of a contract had ever been made him. Still, when two years passed without a whisper of unemployment in the offing, Ian had unwisely learned to hope, which hadn't been much of a good idea.
Ian's penultimate foster mother would have greeted the news of his job loss by munching on a shortbread finger and proclaiming, "Well, you can't change the wind, can you, my lad? When it blows over cow dung, a wise man holds his nose." She would have poured tepid tea into a glass--she never used a teacup--and she would have sloshed it down. She would have gone on to say, "Ride the horse that's got its saddle on, lad," and she would have returned to perusing her latest copy of Hello!, admiring its photos of well-groomed nobs living the good life in posh London flats and on country estates.
This would be her way of telling Ian to accept his fate, her unsubtle message that the good life was not for the likes of him. But Ian had never aspired to the good life. All he'd ever sought was acceptance, and he pursued it with the passion of an unadopted and unadoptable child. What he wanted was simple: a wife, a family, and the security of knowing that he had a future somewhat more promising than the grimness of his past.
These objectives had once seemed possible. He'd been good at his job. He'd arrived for work early every day. He'd laboured extra hours for no extra pay. He'd learned the names of all his fellow workers. He'd even gone so far as to memorise the names of their spouses and children, which was no mean feat. And the thanks he'd garnered for all this effort was a farewell office party drinking lukewarm Squash, and a box of handkerchiefs from a Tie Rack outlet.
Ian had tried to forestall and even to prevent the inevitable. He'd pointed out the services he'd rendered, the late hours he'd worked, and the sacrifices he'd made in not seeking other employment while occupying his temporary position. He'd sought compromise by making offers of working for a lower salary, and ultimately he'd begged not to be cut off.
The humiliation of grovelling in front of his superior was nothing to Ian if grovelling meant he could keep his position. Because keeping his position meant that the mortgage could continue to be paid on his new house. With that taken care of, he and Anita could move forward with their efforts to produce a sibling for Mikey, and Ian wouldn't have to send his wife out to work. More important, he also wouldn't have to see the scorn in Anita's eyes when he informed her he'd lost yet another job.
"It's this rotten recession, darling," he'd told her. "It goes on and on. Our parents had World War Two as their trial by fire. This recession is ours."
Her eyes had said derisively, "Don't give me philosophy. You didn't even know your parents, Ian Armstrong." But what she said with an inappropriate and hence ominous amiability was, "So it's back to the library for me, I suppose. Though I hardly see what help that'll be once I've arranged to pay someone to look after Mikey while I'm out. Or did you plan to look after him yourself instead of looking for work?" Her lips were tight with insincerity when she offered him a brittle smile.
"I hadn't yet thought--"
"That's the trouble with you, Ian. You never think. You never have a plan. We move from problem to crisis to the brink of disaster. We have a new house we can't pay for and a baby to feed and still you aren't thinking. If you'd planned ahead, if you'd cemented your position, if you'd threatened to leave eighteen months ago when the factory needed reorganisation and you were the only one in Essex who could do it for them--"
"That's not actually the case, Anita."
"There you are! See?"
"You're too humble. You don't put yourself out. If you did, you'd have a contract now. If you ever once planned, you'd have demanded a contract then and there when they needed you most."
There was no point in explaining business to Anita when she was in a state. And Ian really couldn't blame his wife for the state she was in. He'd lost three jobs in the six years they'd been married. And while she'd been supportive through his first two spates of unemployment, they'd lived with her parents then and hadn't the financial worries that menaced them now. If only things could be different, Ian thought. If only his job could have been secure. But residing in the twilight world of ifs did nothing to offer a solution to their problems.
So Anita had returned to work, a pathetic and ill-paying job at the town library, where she reshelved books and helped pensioners locate magazines. And Ian began the humiliating process of seeking employment once again, in an area of the country long depressed.
He started each day by dressing carefully and leaving the house before his wife. He'd been as far north as Ipswich, as far west as Colchester. He'd been south to Clacton and had even ventured onward to Southend-on-Sea. He'd given it his best, but so far he'd managed nothing. Nightly he faced Anita's silent but growing contempt. When the weekends came, he sought escape.
Walking provided it, on Saturdays and Sundays. In the past few weeks, he'd come to know the entire Tendring Peninsula intimately. His favourite stroll was a short distance from the town, where a right turn past Brick Barn Farm took him to the track across the Wade. At the end of the lane he'd park the Morris, and when the tide was out, he put on his Wellingtons and slopped across the muddy causeway to the lump of land called Horsey Island. There he watched the waterfowl and he poked about for shells. Nature gave him the peace that the rest of life denied him. And in the early weekend mornings, he found nature at her best.
On this particular Saturday morning, the tide was high, so Ian Armstrong chose the Nez for his walk. The Nez was an impressive promontory of gorse-tangled land that rose 150 feet above the North Sea and separated it from an area of tidal swamp called the Saltings. Like the towns along the coast, the Nez was fighting a battle against the sea. But unlike these towns, it had no line of breakwaters to guard it and no concrete slopes to serve as armour over the uneasy combination of clay, pebbles, and earth that caused the cliffs to crumble to the beach below them.
Ian decided to begin at the southeast end of the promontory, making his way round the tip and down the west side, where waders like redshanks and greenshanks nested and fed themselves from the shallow marsh pools. He waved a jaunty goodbye to Anita, who returned his farewell expressionlessly, and he wound his way out of the housing estate. Five minutes took him to Balford-le-Nez Road. Five minutes more and he was on Balford's High Street, where the Dairy Den Diner was serving up breakfast and Kemp's Market was arranging its vegetable displays.
He spun through the town and turned left along the seafront. Already, he could tell that the day was going to be yet another hot one, and he unrolled his window to breathe the balmy salt air. He gave himself over to an enjoyment of the morning and worked at forgetting the difficulties he faced. For a moment he allowed himself to pretend all was well.
It was in this frame of mind that Ian rounded the curve into Nez Park Road. The guard shack at the entrance to the promontory was empty so early in the morning, no attendant there to claim sixty pence for the privilege of a walk along the clifftop. So Ian bumped over the cratered terrain towards the car park above the sea.
That was when he saw the Nissan, a hatchback standing alone in the early morning light, just a few feet from the boundary poles that marked the edge of the car park. Ian jounced towards it, avoiding pot holes as best he could. His mind on his walk, he thought nothing of the hatchback's presence until he noticed that one of its doors was hanging open and its bonnet and roof were beaded with dew not yet evaporated in the day's coming heat.
Ian frowned at this. He tapped his fingers against the steering wheel of the Morris and thought about the uncomfortable relationship between the top of a cliff and an abandoned car with its door left open. At the direction in which his thoughts began to head, he very nearly decided to turn tail for home. But human curiosity got the better of him. He edged the Morris forward until he was idling at the Nissan's side.
He said cheerily out of his open window, "Good morning? I say, do you need any help in there?" in case someone was dossing in the car's back seat. Then he noted that the glove compartment was hanging open and that its contents appeared to be strewn upon the floor.
Ian made a quick deduction from this sight: Someone had been searching for something. He got out of the Morris and leaned into the Nissan for a better look.
The search had been nothing if not thorough. The front seats were slashed, and the back seat was not only cut open but pulled forward as if with the expectation that something had been hidden behind it. The side panels of the doors appeared to have been roughly removed and then just as roughly returned to place; the console between the seats gaped open; the lining of the roof sagged down.
Ian adjusted his previous deduction with alacrity. Drugs, he thought. The harbours of Parkeston and Harwich were no great distance from this spot. Lorries, cars, and vast shipping containers arrived there by the dozens on ferries every day. They came from Sweden, Holland, and Germany, and the wise smuggler who managed to get past customs would be sensible to drive to a remote location--just like the Nez--before retrieving his contraband. This car was abandoned, Ian concluded, having served its purpose. He would have his walk and then phone the police to have it towed away.
He was childishly pleased with his insight. Amused at his first reaction to the sight of the car, he pulled his Wellingtons from the boot of the Morris and as he squirmed his feet into them, he chuckled at the thought of a desperate soul attempting to end his troubles at this particular site. Everyone knew that the edge of the Nez's clifftop was perilously friable. A potential suicide wishing to fling himself into oblivion at this spot was far likelier to end up sliding with the brick earth, the gravel, and the silt onto the beach below as the cliffside collapsed beneath his weight in a dirty heap. He might break his leg, certainly. But end his life? Hardly. No one was going to die on the Nez.
Ian smacked the boot of the Morris shut. He locked the door and patted the vehicle's roof. "Good old thing," he said in an affable fashion. "Thank you very much indeed." The fact that the engine continued to turn over in the morning was a miracle that Ian's natural superstitions told him he ought to encourage.
He picked up five papers that lay on the ground next to the Nissan and deposited them within the car's glove compartment from which they'd no doubt originally come. He swung the hatchback's door closed, thinking, No need to be untidy about things. Then he approached the steep old concrete steps that led down to the beach.
At the top of these steps, Ian paused. Even at this hour, the sky above him was a bright blue dome, unmarked by the presence of clouds, and the North Sea was tranquil with the calm of summer. A fog bank lay like a roll of cotton wool far out on the horizon, serving as distant background for a fishing boat--perhaps half a mile off shore--that chugged in the direction of Clacton. A flock of gulls surrounded this like gnats round fruit. More gulls, Ian saw, were buzzing along the waterline at clifftop height. They flew in his direction from the north, from Harwich, whose cranes Ian could glimpse even from this distance across Pennyhole Bay.
Ian thought of the birds as a welcoming committee, so intent did they seem upon him as a target. Indeed, they approached with such mindless determination that he found himself giving more than idle consideration to du Maurier's story, Hitchcock's film, and Tippi Hedren's avian torment. He was thinking about beating a hasty retreat--or at least doing something to shield his head--when as a single unit the birds arced and dived at a structure on the beach. This was a pillbox, a concrete fortification from World War II from which English troops had watched and waited to defend the country from Nazi invasion. The structure had once stood on the top of the Nez, but as time and the sea had washed away the cliffside, it now sat on the sand below.
Ian saw that other gulls were already doing their web-footed tap dance on the pillbox's roof. From a hexagonal opening on this same roof, where a machine gun placement once would have stood, more birds entered and exited the structure. They gabbled and cawed as if in communication, and their message seemed to pass telepathically to the birds off shore, for these began to leave the fishing boat and to head towards land.
Their decisive flight reminded Ian of a scene on the beach near Dover that he'd witnessed as a child. A big barking brute of a dog had been lured out to sea by a flock of similar birds. The dog had been playing at catching them from the water, but they had been deadly serious, and they'd circled farther and farther out into the sea until the poor animal was a quarter mile from the shore. No one's shouting or imprecations had brought the dog back. And no one had been able to control the birds. Had he not seen the gulls toying with the dog's ebbing strength--circling above him just out of his reach, cawing, approaching, then darting away--Ian would never have thought it reasonable to conclude that birds were creatures with murderous intentions. But he saw it that day, and he'd believed it ever since. And he always kept a respectful distance from them.
Now, however, he thought of that poor dog. It was obvious that the gulls were toying with something, and whatever that desolate something was, it was inside the old pillbox. Action was called for.
Ian descended the stairs. He said, "Hey, there! I say!" and he waved his arms. This did little to deter the gulls that bobbed on the guano-streaked concrete rooftop and flapped their wings minaciously. But Ian wasn't about to be put off. The long ago gulls in Dover had got the better of their canine pursuer, but these Balford gulls weren't about to get the better of Ian Armstrong.
He jogged in their direction. The pillbox was some twenty-five yards from the foot of the steps, and he was able to build up a fair amount of speed in that distance. Arms waving, he descended on the birds with a yowl, and he was pleased to see his efforts at intimidation bear fruit. The gulls took to the air, leaving Ian alone with the pillbox, and whatever it was that they had been investigating within it.
The entrance was a crawlhole less than three feet

I have read everything by E. George and I adore her. In this book, she has outdone herself. A rich tale, daring, abundant in unforgettable characters.
Book 9 in the Inspector Lynley series Elizabeth George plunges us once again into a gripping and twisted "Whodunit" plot based in Balford-le-Nez, a dying fictional sea town on the coast of Essex. True to her style, this book in the series is beautifully written, the plot well-crafted and the characterization excellent. This is a complicated mystery which may be a tad too long and a bit slow-moving at times but one that will not fail to draw you into the story immediate. You will be caught up in the web of suspense and deception till the end. Finally Inspector Lynley and Helen have tied the knot and are on their honeymoon and Barbara Havers has been granted an extension on her convalescence, her plans where to spend a little time in Balford-le-Nez. . Balford-le-Nez has a growing Asian community and when a member is found dead near its beach, his neck broken...The normally sleepy town ignites...Hearing of this Barbara can't help but get involved and quickly becomes a prominent figure in the murder investigation of this recent immigrant from Pakistan. The case has a personal side; her landlord Taymullah Azhar and his daughter Hadiyyah have connections to the dead man. In typical fashion the writer has the murder investigation as the focal point while exploring the hardships new immigrants face in a country foreign to them. With Lynley out of the picture, Barbara must use her own sound investigative skills and leave no stones unturned. People are quick to tag this murder as a racially motivated crime. What really happened and for what reason? This book is an absorbing read, however, some important threads are left dangling leaving questions as to the outcome of some events and the fate of some characters....maybe the answers are in a future sequel....
Though I missed some of the other regular characters who inhabit these stories, I enjoyed spending the time with Havers. Her loyalty to her young friend, Hadiyyah, and her father, Azhar, are central to the story. They are good friends and good people. Her belief that she needed to protect them is what brought her to the sea side in Balford-le-Nez, Essex and is in keeping with her character. She is loyal to her friends. Balanced against this is her admiration and respect for DCI Emily Barlow. Professionally, Barlow is everything Havers wants to be - smart, successful and in charge. As it turns out Barlow cannot see past her racial prejudice which negatively impacts her handling of the case which is the murder of an immigrant from Pakistan. The backdrop to this story is the interaction within the Pakistani community in Balford-le-Nez, between the Pakistanis and the local English parts of the community, and between the Pakistani community and the police. The development of the supporting story lines and characters bring depth to the story. There is prejudice in the white community, the police and the Pakistani community. It makes for a more believable story that no side is spared exposure of its prejudices. Balanced against this are those members of both communities and the police who show friendship and compassion without being idealized. The fact that Havers enjoyed tweaking the prejudices of the hotel manager was a small but enjoyable element. Havers has to work hard throughout the story to balance both sides and to lead DCI Barlow in the right direction. It is through her efforts that the case gets resolved. She saves Hadiyyah's life but a criminal (though not the murderer) escapes as a result. Unfortunately, this was done at some cost for Havers. In order to do so, Havers had to refuse DCI Barlow's orders and physically threaten her because Barlow was willing to let Hadiyyah "a Paki brat" drown in order to arrest her man. She makes an enemy of Barlow who brings her up on charges but proves herself to be the better detective and a true friend to Hadiyyah and Azhar.
I plowed through this with my boots on. By the middle of the book it was interesting but not an easy read. That would have been ok, except by the time I waded through 600+ pages, I find she just zips up the book. There should have been even more pages! After all this, we are left with unanswered questions. If there is a sequel, I won't bother.

For six months, I have been trying to be a good person.
I did it wrong.
Ever since returning to the U.S. in January, I have made it a habit to save every bit of acceptable biodegradable waste I produce. The waste problem in West Africa will do that do you.
Composting is not hard, and you should do it. However, saving your orange peels and rotten tomatoes to make into gardening soil is not as clean and nice as it sounds. In fact it stinks—literally.
I first bought an attractive ceramic countertop compost jar. It is convenient for saving food waste in the kitchen, and it's sealed for odor and sterility. The jar fills up about once a week.
From there I went to Home Depot and made my first mistake. I bought a 10-gallon stainless metal container to keep the waste on my small apartment deck. The container said "Not For Storage of Liquid."
For a while my system worked out very well. I would dump the kitchen jar about once a week, and stir the large container every two or three. I didn't look forward to these jobs—the latter was particularly smelly—but I was proud of my efforts. I was doing something good.
Then things started going wrong.
As my compost piled up and broke down, the ripest, gnarliest substance grew. Somewhere between liquid and solid, moldy food and toxic waste, I had created something terrible—and it was alive. For a while the creature was contained, as long as I kept the lid closed. That was until it started to leak.
From the bottom first, a vile liquid slowly leaked. A plastic tray beneath protected my deck and the neighbors below. The black color was one thing, the smell was another. It smelled like the most rotten culture of Parmesan cheese you can imagine.
As the black liquid grew, so did the Parmesan stench. Soon I couldn't open my doors or windows. Then the AC started pumping the rotten air in. I dumped the tray of the deck and washed it in my tub. The outside of my building took on the smell, and so did my bathroom. Worst of all, the tray filled up again in a matter of hours.
I thought it might be the end.
In my desperate state, I threw in the towel. I put a garbage bag around the whole container and carried the toxic monster down to the dumpster. Six months of work, and it ended with no without making a difference. I suck.
Click here for a basic guide to composting successfully. My major flaws were 1.) my container, and 2.) not mixing in dry brown waste to counter the slimy green waste.

Correcting a color image
Correcting a color image
We are now ready to prepare this color image for print. This is another student image. This is by a student named Charity Jack. And she gave me this image to print, I've assigned the color space that I want, and I am ready to go, I just need to start in on my adjustments. Now Photoshop provides you with a huge array of tools for adjusting and correcting color. And for the most part I find that my color adjustments as I get ready for print are very slight. If you follow the things that we've been doing in this course and get your tones adjusted properly, you're probably going to find that your color falls into place.
So in this course I am not going to show you a lot of color manipulation, we're not going to dive into Hue/Saturation dialogs and Color Balance and Selective Color and all that kind of stuff, there are lots of places in the lynda library where you can learn to do that. Instead I'd like to now show you the tonal correction techniques that we've been doing but in ...

This app is terrible
You would think by now they would have the issue of the stream freezing up resolved - it is impossible to watch a show all the way through without having to restart the app. Also, why isn't the number pad available when the video is minimized and the guide is showing. And while we are talking about the number pad, it is so sensitive that you can't type in more than one number before it signals a channel change. Finally, why is there no volume button in this app. Honestly, the TV viewing experience isn't much better so I am in the process of switching to Fios.
The Worst
This app is the worst. It does not even deserve one star. It continually freezes up. Can not watch a program or a ball game with out the freeze up. We have friends who have Comcast that works so much better then this pathetic
App. We are seriously thinking about switching
To Fios. It can't be any worse than what we have now.
Wish I could give it zero stars
What a piece of junk this app is. This app would freeze up on the equator in the middle of summer. That's all it does; freeze up. You would think that Optimum could develop an app to run their own programming without myriad glitches but no.
Don't waste your time.

I am amazed at the proliferation of books on the subject to be currently found on Amazon.com. Separating the wheat from the chaff can be a daunting challenge. Many interpretations of the Dharma, especially by Western authors, often seem to be tainted by naive New Age idealism on the one hand, or dry pedantry on the other. Although Watts was academically disciplined, reading the text with appropriate reflection can be simultaneously an intellectual and experiential endeavor (although not in the "how-to" sense). Watts wisely points out, with ample historical support from past Zen masters, that while so-called techniques for enlightenment may serve as transitional supports along the path, they ultimately lead to dead ends.
The Way of Zen, despite some rather petty criticisms by pedants and literalists over the years, has survived as one of the most lucid expositions of Zen specifically and Buddhism in general. Highly recommended...still.
The book is divided into two parts, "Background and History" and Principles and Practice," each with four chapters. There is a bibliography also divided into two parts, the first referring to original sources and second to general works on Zen in European languages. There are 16 pages of Chinese Notes in calligraphy keyed to the text, and an Index.
"The Way" in the title refers to the "watercourse way" from Taoism, a philosophy to which Zen owes much, as Watts makes clear in the first two chapters, "The Philosophy of the Tao" and "The Origins of Buddhism." The first chapter is one of the best on Taoism that I have ever read, replete with insight and wisdom. Throughout, Watts expresses himself in an infectious style, even in the very scholarly chapters on the history of Buddhism where he traces Zen from its origin in India, through the Buddha under the Po tree, to Ch'an in China, and finally into Japan.Read more ›
and you'll see the problem--books with titles like "The Tao
of Love and Relationships" or "The Zen of Career
Advancement." Much of the literature on eastern philosophy
written by westerners is distorted as it is re-focused
through the prism ("prison," some would argue) of western
thought and language.
Alan Watts appreciates and addresses these difficulties in
The Way of Zen, an excellent introduction to the Zen
Buddhism. Watts explores Zen's historical background,
tracing it from Buddhism's migration from India to China,
where it absorbed elements of Confucian and Taoist thought,
to its final development in Japan. The second half of the
book describes Zen's underlying principles and its
practices, such as the absence of "self" and the futility
of purpose.
Rich in scholarly detail, yet accessible to the lay reader,
The Way of Zen, is remarkable in its lucidity. Watts uses
analogies and allusions culled from daily life to
illustrate Zen principles and does much to clear up western
misconceptions about Zen thought. He also warns of the
difficulties many westerners face trying to understand Zen.
With the English language's clear separation between the
observer and the observed, the action and the actor and its
rigid division of time into past, present and future, Zen
thought often strikes westerners as mystical or moronic.
